How To Care For Your Water Fountain

Introduction

Water fountains are an important part of any office or classroom building. They provide a convenient source of drinking water, but they can also be a source of bacteria and other germs if not properly maintained. In this blog post we will discuss some tips on how you can properly maintain your water fountain to ensure that it is clean and safe for you and your employees.

  • Use warm water and mild dish soap to clean your fountain, then rinse thoroughly with cold water before using again.
  • Use a soft cloth to clean the fountain, as abrasive cleaners are not recommended for use on any drinking-water fountains or other devices used to dispense purified water (such as filtration systems). Avoid using abrasive cloths; these may scratch the surface of some types of plastic, which could make them more susceptible to bacterial growth over time.

Refill your reservoir with fresh water on a regular basis. Your water should always be fresh, but not so much that the fountain becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.

Once per week is generally sufficient to keep your fountain clean and healthy, but it’s up to you how often you refill the tank. If you use it less than once per day (or don’t use it at all), then refilling every couple weeks might suffice.

Replace your filter as often as needed. You should replace your filter at least once every six months depending on how much you use it.

You should replace your filter at least once every six months, depending on how much you use it. The general rule of thumb is to change it when water flow is reduced by half or more. If you don’t, bacteria could make its way into the fountain and contaminate the water supply. This can lead to illness or even death if consumed regularly over time.
